Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 cup snow peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (optional)
• 2 cups cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu: Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object on top, such as a skillet. Press for 10-15 minutes to remove excess water.

Step 2

Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss with cornstarch in a bowl until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 6-8 minutes). Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and water until well combined. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.

Step 7

Return the tofu to the skillet and toss with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles, if preferred.
